Best Music of His Career

This album perfectly encompasses all of the best tracks throughout Richard Marx's career. The best tracks are taken from each of his five previous albums: Richard Marx, Repeat Offender, Rush Street, Paid Vacation, and Flesh & Bone.

The album starts out with the rock song "Don't Mean Nothing". Although I enjoy the song I prefer Marx's ballets over his more harder rock pieces. Immediately following "Don't Mean Nothing" we fall into a more soothing relaxing tune, "Endless Summer Nights". After the first two tracks the rest of the songs jump around throughout Richard Marx's career and include the tracks: "Now and Forever", "Should've of Known Better", "Angelia", "Hold on to the Nights", "Angel's Lullaby", "Take This Heart", "Satisfied", "Until I Find You Again", "Hazard", "The Way She Loves Me", "Keep Coming Back", "Children of the Night", "Touch of Heaven", and "Right Here Waiting".

Although each of his albums are wise investments, this Greatest Hit's album perfectly combined them together to create a "must have" disc. Even if you aren't a huge fan of Richard Marx you should own this disc. I can listen to his music no matter what I'm doing. In the morning, late at night, or while driving. The music is perfect for parties, weddings, or just a relaxing night alone.

There are two versions of this CD. The International version (which you may be able to find in the Import section of your music store) contains a few bonus tracks. The CD also contains linear notes and a dedication to his father who died in a car accident.

Richard Marx is one of those rare artists who puts all of his songwriting skills and emotional voice into each of his creations. Some artists have to have long musical careers just to get enough good material to justify creating a Greatest Hit's album. Richard Marx does not suffer from this problem.
